Stone ridge Hollow is a beautiful venue we had never shot there. We were so excited to shoot there because we had heard so many great things about the property. So much variety so many places to take killer photos of our couple. Some of my favorite moments of the day was Trevor seeing Stephanie for the first time. I got emotional when Stephanie’s dad walked in for the first time and saw her fully complete head to toe and again as a bride.

2 words: Smoke + Confetti. Literally this is how I’ll forever remember these guys. And that’s not to make you feel bad, we are sooo in love with this session! We had never done smoke bombs before and we were so excited to try them. And then there’s that confetti ya’ll bought thats the finest confetti we’ve ever photographed… and I must say, I found some in my car last week. So yah, I’ll really remember your session for months and years to come haha. 

A couple weeks ago, we got to photograph a really cute engagement session, at sunrise in Fells Point. You know, we are NOT morning people at all, but there’s something about the lighting and the quiet streets in Fells Point that doesn’t make it so bad. We met Katie and Greg right as the sun was coming up, but since it was overcast, we didn’t get any killer skies. We did however get THE BEST lighting for our couple though and could shoot in any direction we wanted because the sun wouldn’t be harsh at all.

My 2020 couples are blessing me with new locations and experiences and I’m so thankful! For Clare and Zach’s session we went down to Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis and traversed the land! It is such a beautiful park: gazebos, trees, fields, high grass, and water! My favorite part (besides hanging with these two cuties!) were seeing all the fluffer puppers!!  Even at the brightest part of the day, we were able to find some open shade and get some fun photos. 

I love when history merges with real life present time. Prior to going full time back in 2014, I used to work for a marketing and branding agency in Towson. One of our clients was right in the heart of towson. Paige was on staff, so technically, she was my client back in 2011-2013 in another life.. We kept in touch on social media. Fast forward to a couple months ago, I get an email from Paige through our website and I was sooo thrilled. I was probably more honored that out of all the amazing photographers in town, she choose us.

These two are CUTE! I loved meeting Olivia and Sean for their downtown Fells engagement session this fall! I love having sessions down in Fells because there is so much history (and cobblestone!) and so many beautiful storefronts! While we were shooting we saw TWO bridal parties taking photos, too! You could tell that Olivia and Sean were visibly excited watching these two bridal parties have so much fun. Your time is coming!!

What a day you had! One of our favorites from October. We were looking forward to this wedding so much. After a really fun engagement session with these two at the beach we knew the day would whole lots of surprising moments and tons of laughter. Turf Valley is such a cool venue because of the ceremony space in the variety of reception ballrooms. These guys had a beautiful first look out in front of trees that were fiery orange and had already changed into beautiful fall colors. The first look was amazing… Tyler was nervous and so excited to see his bride Kaity was in a gorgeous Kleinfeld dress and so excited to walk and see her man. Once they saw each other the rest of the day was pure fun. These two together crack me up. They are both sweet with each other honest and playful. As soon as we added the bridal party and it was quite the day. So much laughter inappropriate jokes made and photos to prove it.

Kelsey and Matt were one of our mid October weddings and we couldn’t be more excited to share this Turf Valley wedding with you!

Kelsey and Matt were such an amazing couple to work with. We knew the day would be fast and furious with a ceremony ending really close to sunset. But for us, if just meant that there would be strategic and beautiful photos for this couple.

Olivia and Tim were seriously such a sweet couple for us. The morning with them all was a whirlwind. Olivia was so cute when she said all she wanted was to marry Tim and dance so much. Though the morning was a super tight timeline due to the time we were all allowed on site, the girls rocked it. Olivia never showed any signs of stressed. I think she just decided she was going to have the most amazing day along side her fiance Tim who would become her husband that day. 

Emily and Kevin had a beautiful engagement session at the Naval Academy and in downtown Annapolis. After Emily and Kevin hired us, they had a few ideas of where to go and we proposed some and we all agreed on Annapolis. Upon arriving it started to rain. We all were like NOOOO…. This isn’t going to happen. Patrick and I started to think strategically about where we could go and how to shoot despite the rain. Basically these guys had to trust us as none of us (including them) wanted to reschedule the session due to schedules, etc.
